Snelgrove claims evenher husband wasfired by a company and replacedby illegal immigrants. Our sister station WLTX News 19 asked Snelgrove,"What do you say to someone who see's the shirt and says, 'that'sracist'?"

"That's your opinion," said Snelgrove. "If you support illegalimmigrants then you support paying tax dollars for other people who justworked under the table. Let me tell you, small business owners - we paytaxes!"

We showed the shirt to Sandy Jones, a Pastor at a prominently Hispanic Church is the Midlands.

"I think it's very racist, I think it's a very racist comment," saidJones. "If that's not likely illegal immigrants to animals you cancapture with a box I don't know what else."

Jones says she's offended by the shirt and wants the restaurant to stop selling it and toapologize.

"When national news is going to hear and think that everyone is SouthCarolina thinks like this, that hurts me personally. It makes me verysad," said Jones.

Snelgrove says she'll keep selling the shirts, even if she is surprised by all the attention.

"Our t-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regardingILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards anyspecific ethnic group," it says in part. "As most tax paying Americans,we do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are burdening the system we support andlive under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay higher taxes tosupport the illegal activities, which our government has simply chosento look the other way. Is it "racist" to disagree with those who are notsupporting the American system?"

Snelgrove says they got the idea after going on acruise to Key Westand sawsimilar shirts. The shirts are selling for$35 and Snelgrove says she's been mailing them all over the world.

"It's not racist. It's immigrants - illegal immigrants. It was just a t-shirt. Just a t-shirt," said Snelgrove.
